Philosophy Now Forum

Welcome! How's the monster?

Hey, it works!

One difference between the new forum software (phpBB 3) and the old version (phpBB 2) is that in this new version, links no longer open in a new window. I thought that was quite a handy feature of the old version. In the new version, once you click a link in somebody's post then you leave the forum ...

Hi Jason

Not a bad idea - I'll look into it. We're going to try to do something on economics etc this year, for obvious reasons, and Soros' connection with Karl Popper is interesting too.

Philosophy Now Issue 71 is now out, and has a Darwin theme. This is because 2009 contains Charles Darwin's 200th birthday (later this month) and is also the 150th anniversary of the first publication of On The Origin of Species . Bora will be updating the website with the new issue in the next day o...

As I've said in the other threads, this is only temporary.

Actually, I think I quite like this format - it is growing on me! Still, I wouldn't foist it on everyone else here against their wishes.

Hello W.O. - welcome to the forum!

In addition to the places Richard has listed, you could also try the University of Illinois. I think they do

It does sound like a good idea but I never got around to joining. I now have a Facebook account, so I've finally applied to join.

Glad you like the new issue!

Hi philofra We're waiting too! The latest news is that the mags have made it from the printers to the distribution depot, and that the mailing house have started sending out copies to subscribers. However, I haven't seen a copy myself yet! Hope you like Issue 70 when it arrives. The theme of the iss...

Bora has just (this evening) completed the redesign of the Philosophy Now website. If you get a mo, do take a look at it. All feedback, constructive criticisms and suggestions for further improvements gratefully received! Thanks.

Issue 69 is now on the web. Bora just completed the big update.

IF Bora is in my area (Albany/Troy/Schenectady), Bora is welcome to get in touch and meet with me and other local philosophers - real live ones with PhD's and all the trimmings (unlike little old me). Hiya I've been away for the last couple of days and missed your posting above. Bora flew back to L...

Sadly it is a little late this time. Bora (our webmaster and online editor) is currently wandering around upstate New York and trying in odd moments to update the PN website from his laptop, but it is obviously taking him longer than usual for that reason.
